Is the center stripe normal white or does it have green tint? I’m guessing apple both hated the tint and someone told them they couldn’t drop an Italy band without Azzuri Blue
Seems quite white - I have worn the one on the left more.

The reason I was desperate for the Capri I got a couple of months ago was that I think that is as near to Azzuri blue than we will get

Coincidentally, I washed all seven of my Sport Loops with some other laundry today. Only one band had been previously washed. The bands were in a lingerie bag. I used regular detergent in a cold-water cycle with a soak. The bands came out beautifully, including my Canada band.

After months of searching, I finally found the Midnight Ocean Band. For me, it doesn't get any better than this unless Apple made an Ocean Band with Clay, Cocoa or Olive colors. Now that I found my everyday band, I'm ready to sell my white Ocean Band and Green/Grey Trail Loop lol.

Yeah, its a great band! Personally, the Ocean bands are my favorite for the ULTRA - so it looks like a proper diver watch imho.

I'd like to get a black band that is the style of the Nike Sport Band (with the holes), or the Apple/Nike Sport Loops. I'm looking for a very deep black color, not the light black or space grey type blacks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a deep black band? I am ok with a 3rd party band for this too.

Is Nike black/black sport band too light?

That might work out. Is that Lighter or darker than the black Hermes Sports Band? I would like something as dark as the Hermes.

Thank you so much. It looks like the black black used is the darkest by a tiny bit.
Just a quick shot and edit and with a blast of window light but yeah from a lot of angles the Nike actually looks darker I found.

And the tone is a lot closer than I was expecting. Usually I find Apple black gen 1 and Hermes black to differ in tone more than darkness.

I observed the same as you re: the Hermes and Apple black gen 1. Thanks for all your help.
